How it works

This calculator uses the 28/36 rule — a widely used guideline for mortgage affordability. Your total housing costs (mortgage, taxes, insurance, PMI, HOA) should not exceed your chosen DTI ratio of gross monthly income.

The calculator works backwards from your income to find the maximum home price that keeps monthly costs within your DTI limit. It uses the standard amortization formula and Nevada's average property tax rate of 0.53%.
